Almond Milk 杏仁茶

Another my favourite drink is almond drink ...Nowadays there are already lots of brand of instance almond powder such as greenmax, organic brand and etc.
Some people do feel that this almond drink always has the cockcroach smell ? Why ? Ya, you are right, if the powder doesnt prepare in proper, it will always have the cockcroach smell. Nowadays, you will no longer feel this, especially ifyou make your own almond milk.
Benefits
1.Amond Milk is very good for skin and soothes your lung.
2.Is rich with Vitamin E, the antioxidant.

The day of making chiffon cake

Early morning, woke up with the mood to make the cheese bread today... Who knows, when i am getting ready to bake my cake, i just realized, my high protein powder has been expired for 4 days.... To ensure my food quality, i have to throw the powder.... and now with the normal flour, i can try baking chiffon cake

Here i share my recipe, photo will be uploaded later, as i could not find my power cable.

2. Slowly add the flour and baking power in the mixture until it is well mixed.
3. Whisk the ingredient B, add the sugar gradually and whisk until it become stiff. (As picture, you can put the bowl upside down, the mixture will still stick to the bowl).When it reach this level, the mixture is good enough.
4. Now slowly fold the mixture A and mixture B, and put in the cake mold.
